About Jeffrey Kenkel

Dr. Kenkel is the past president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the leading professional organization of plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and specialize in cosmetic plastic surgery. In addition, he is the past president of the Dallas Society of Plastic Surgery and also serves as a director of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He actively advocates for new technologies, speaking around the country about lasers and light-based technologies and teaching excisional and liposuction based techniques and safety considerations for body contouring ultrasound-assisted liposuction to plastic surgeons around the world. At our practice, new technologies give Dr. Kenkel more treatment options for our patients, thanks to our location on campus at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
